Palin, Trump, and Cruz

Cataract surgery - Good news, Pete, glad to hear it. Your health is always in my prayers. (Worth every penny you paid for them. :D )

I don't get thrills (up my leg or otherwise) as a rule, especially about matters political, but I genuinely got a thrill years ago when I ran across a photo, at that biker's rally in DC I think, of Sarah Palin shaking hands with Allen West. It was just an electric moment, and it was really about then I started taking politics seriously again.

Some of "the thrill is gone" on both those folks. West for his support of the black farmers scam and weak walk-back of it. And Palin, well, I just wish she hadn't chosen between Cruz and Trump, really. Bristol had some snark in response to Rick Tyler's statement, and Sarah, sad to say, linking to Bristol, chimed in with "Is THIS Why People Don’t like Cruz?" but at least Cruz himself stayed classy:

"I love @SarahPalinUSA Without her support, I wouldn’t be in the Senate. Regardless of what she does in 2016, I will always be a big fan."

I'm not a big fan of anybody - wish we could merge the better parts of Trump and Cruz and cull the worse parts, but I'll hold my nose and vote GOP - again - because, anyone but those commies.

God bless and save the USA.
